Uncus narrowly triangular and apex pointed, sparsely setose; valva nearly spatulate, emarginate near 1/4 of costa, densely setose overall; fibula with ventral and dorsal processes, ventral process convex prominent, oblique at exterior edge, directed dorsally towards uncus and dorsal process hooked, directed towards distal valva; sacculus sclerotized, sparsely setose, and saccular process small, club-shaped, with setae; juxta shield-shaped; saccus Ushaped; coremata with densely long hairs; phallus cylindrical, anterior half sclerotized.</p> <p> <i>Female genitalia</i> (Fig. 4). Papillae analis simple; posterior apophyses almost same length as anterior apophyses; antrum broad, strongly sclerotized; ductus bursae membranous, as broad as antrum, about twice the length of corpus bursae; corpus bursae ovoid, membranous, without signum; appendix bursae absent.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Micronesia (Kosrae).</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The specific name was derived from the type locality, Kosrae, Micronesia.</p>Published as part of <i>Ko, Jae-Ho, Albert, Austin & Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal, 2023, First report of the genus Haritalodes Warren, 1890 from Micronesia (Lepidoptera Crambidae, Spilomelinae), with description of a new species, pp. 95-100 in Zootaxa 5339 (1)</i> on pages 95-100, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5339.1.6, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8290328">http://zenodo.org/record/8290328</a>

No full textko-ax photo was an open submission competition selected by Simon Baker (Curator of Photography, Tate), Sue Steward (Photography critic, Telegraph, Observer, Guardian, BBC) and John Gill (Curator Brighton Photo Biennial and Founder Photoworks). The 10 artists selected all presented fascinating artworks that conceal narratives and ask questions of the viewer. Questions of beauty, family, decay and fantasy were all explored across over 50 works.</p
The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
Organizational Learning and Marketing Capability Development: A Study of Charity Retailing Operation of British Social Enterprises
No full textSocial enterprise is a hybrid form of profit- and social benefit-seeking organization whereby traditional nonprofit organizations pursue both their social mission and business opportunities. To embrace this new strategic direction shift, the nonprofit organizations need to develop new competences that will enable them to respond to the changes in the business model. The article investigates the learning mechanisms through which social enterprises develop a marketing capability to deploy their resources in the marketplace as the drivers of competitive advantage in their commercial practice. We study eight cases of UK-based charity retailers, in order to address the role of knowledge accumulation, articulation and codification process in the evolution of marketing capability development. We identify, amongst other things that the critical process of organizational learning for social enterprise is to transfer the experience into organization specific knowledge under the social aspects of constraints

Ko au te whenua, te whenua ko au – I am the land, the land is me: An autoethnographic investigation of a secondary school teacher’s experience seeking to enrich learning in outdoor education for Māori students.
No full textThis thesis is my story as an outdoor educator, as a researcher, and a co-participant reflecting on my own actions and experiences as well as those of my students. In this autoethnography I share my revelations and tensions in my role as an outdoor education teacher seeking to enrich the experiences of Māori students. Māori culture and history have largely been ignored in the outdoor education classrooms and environments of Aotearoa New Zealand. After teaching the subject for ten years I didn’t perceive that I was perpetuating the same invisibility in my own outdoor education course. Over this time a number of questions that had fermented at the back of my mind came to the fore; ‘why are so few Māori students opting to take outdoor education as a senior secondary school subject?’ and ‘how can I make the subject of outdoor education more desirable and appealing to Māori?’ A place-responsive approach incorporates and values traditional ways of learning through the notion of place and the stories attached to them. The cultural context of learning about and through place has the potential to provide learning opportunities that are relevant and meaningful to all learners but particularly Māori. Place-responsive pedagogies allow outdoor educators to create an environment where language, knowledge, culture and values are normal, valid and legitimate – contexts where Māori students can be themselves. Through this research I have found that the implementation of a place responsive approach has had significant implications for Year twelve outdoor education at Mount Maunganui College. The improvement in Māori student achievement and numbers selecting the subject have been affirming.
